Simrad HALO 3006 Open Array Radar, 130W, 6 ft, 96 nm

Simrad HALO 3006 Open Array Radar

Simrad HALO 3006 Open Array Radar is a powerful radar system designed for marine navigation. With a wattage of 130W, it offers exceptional performance and accuracy. The radar has a 6 ft open array design, providing a wide coverage range of up to 96 nautical miles.

One of the key features of the Simrad HALO 3006 is its Compass SafeSTD technology, ensuring reliable and accurate readings even in challenging conditions. The radar has a safe steering distance of 1.0 meter (3.3 ft) and a safe distance from other vessels of 0.5 meters (1.6 ft), enhancing safety during navigation.

In terms of dimensions, the Simrad HALO 3006 measures 324 mm x 429 mm x 339 mm (12.76" x 16.81" x 13.35"), making it compact and easily mountable on various vessels. Despite its small size, it weighs 31.6 kg (69.7 lbs), indicating its robust build quality.

On the electrical front, the radar system consumes a maximum of 250W (peak, 12V) at maximum wind velocity. However, under typical conditions with zero wind velocity, the power consumption ranges from 45W to 75W (average). For optimal performance, it is recommended to use a 25A fuse for 12V systems or a 15A fuse for 24V systems. The radar system can be powered by either a 12V or 24V DC input, with the supply voltage ranging from 10.8V to 15V for 12V systems and from 20V to 31.2V for 24V systems. The pedestal voltage input is 50V DC nominal, generated by the RI-50.

The Simrad HALO 3006 is designed to withstand harsh environments. It has an operating temperature range of -25°C to +55°C (-13°F to 131°F), ensuring reliable performance even in extreme conditions. The radar system is also rated IPX6 waterproof, providing protection against water exposure.

In terms of connectivity, the radar system features an Ethernet port via the RI-50, allowing for easy integration with other devices. It comes with a 100 Mbit RJ45 adapter and a 5-pin yellow adapter. However, it does not have NMEA 2000 connectivity, meaning that navigation data is sent to the radar over the Ethernet network.

Overall, the Simrad HALO 3006 Open Array Radar is a reliable and high-performance radar system suitable for a wide range of marine applications. Its advanced features and durable construction make it an ideal choice for navigation in both calm and challenging conditions.
